Celebrate the fall classics with a 5k for all ages. Blake's Donut Dash 5k is run on gravel trails around the family-owned 50-acre Blake's Lyon Township. The 5k race will take you through the scenic orchard and includes a donut, glass of hard or sweet cider, t-shirt and commemorative glass. Strollers are permitted at your own discretion as the terrain is gravel.
Please note, shirts sizes are on a first come, first serve basis and are not guaranteed to those registered less than 14-days prior to the event. Inventory is kept up to date during registration. If sizes are not showing at the time of sign up, they are unavailable.
